Beaver Dash
Beaver Dash Start
126 Vassar St / Cambridge, MA 02139
The MIT Habitat for Humanity club is excited to kick off its first annual MIT Beaver Dash! The Beaver Dash is a 5K race/walk open to all MIT affiliates (undergrads, grad students, faculty, staff, alumni) and the families of MIT affiliates, and will take place on Sunday, October 11, 2009. The route is centered on campus, with parts extending down dorm row, Vassar Street, and Memorial Drive (see map below). We will have a professional timing company to time the participants. The results will be posted on coolrunning.com, and top finishers will receive prizes.
Runners in the timed race will begin at 9:00am, with walkers and non-competitive participants starting at 9:30am. Finish line festivities - free food, refreshments, and prizes for the participants - will take place in the barbecue pits next to Kresge.
Proceeds from the Beaver Dash will be used to sponsor an MIT Habitat home in Kenya. Undergrad/grad student registration is $15, and faculty/staff/alumni registration is $25.
Payment for online registration is by credit card only. TechCash and cash payment will be available at the Beaver Dash booth in Lobby 10: Monday, October 5 - Friday, October 9, from 9:00am-5:00pm, as well as on the day of the race, starting at 7:30am outside of the main entrance to the Z center, under the overhang.
We are also looking for volunteers for the day of the race, to help with the registration table, water stations along the route, and food stands at the finish line. Please be sure to contact us at mit-habitat-exec@mit.edu if you are interested in volunteering!
All participants and volunteers who register by September 25 are guaranteed a free Beaver Dash t-shirt!
Please see the MIT Habitat for Humanity club website for more information about the Beaver Dash and the club!
